If you said no, then I suspect your creativity is through the roof, so if I could show you a guaranteed way of being more analytical when necessary, would you want to know more? Well I can, so read on. There’s a better than even chance you think of yourself as either a right-brained artistic type or a left-brained logical type. The problem is, whatever you think, you’re wrong, because you’re not right-brained and you’re not left-brained, you’re both. I want you to think of a time when you were disturbed whilst being in the zone, a time when what you were doing seemed effortless and you were in the state Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi christened as, flow.

People who are shy or introverted may actually process their world differently than others, leading to differences in how they respond to stimuli, according to Stony Brook researchers and collaborators in China. About twenty percent of people are born with this “highly sensitive” trait, which may also manifest itself as inhibitedness, or even neuroticism. The trait can be seen in some children who are “slow to warm up” in a situation but eventually join in, need little punishment, cry easily, ask unusual questions or have especially deep thoughts. Are you more bothered by noise and crowds? Do you warm up to situations slowly? Stony...

Their work had built on earlier studies that had found that University students, faculty, and staff, were held onto misconceptions about the origin of seasonal change (perhaps acquired in grade school, junior high, or high school), despite formal coursework in planetary motion or direct instruction with a videotape. Excerpt: "Why did the video, which was supposed to address the misconceptions, have no significant effect on the students? Interestingly both students' responses and their explanations, indicate that they did not encode the relevant information that was inconsistent with their theory." When fMRI studies were done of students slipping into this same mistake, resea... Eide Neurolearning Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=515938 Mon, 02 Apr 2007 07:15:00 +0100 515938
